Integrity of information data flow in meteor communication networks

Abstract

Abstract The paper considers the issues of ensuring the integrity of the flow of information messages between remote objects and identification of the data transmission channel, interrupted randomly by fragmentation-defragmentation processes of this flow as a result of the stochastic appearance and disappearance of traces from meteors burning in the ionosphere, which are used as passive repeaters of VHF radio signals that carry out energy contact between correspondents of a computer network. The problem is posed to implement an algorithm for discontinuous transmission of a continuous data stream over a meteor communication network without distortion and loss of transmitted messages without the inclusion of redundant signs, which contributes to a more rational use of the limited telecommunication resource of the meteor communication network. It is shown that to ensure a reliable exchange of information data between remote infrastructure facilities of the Northern Sea Route, a meteor trail can be used, which will provide a statistically stable connection with the fulfilment of the requirements for the probability of receiving false signs while maintaining the integrity of messages, provided that this type of communication between correspondents is discontinuous.
